The New Technology 21st Century High School model is one of the outstanding
new 21st Century Secondary
School models. New Tech practices in project-based learning, assessment
of 21st Century Skills, and online learning platforms may be the most advanced
in the US and elsewhere, though much work remains to be done. I served as
Director of Strategic Planning for the New Technology Foundation for 8 years,
2002-2009, working with an outstanding Napa, CA - based team, as we supported
50 communities across 9 states to launch New Tech High Schools. Below are
links to profiles of several exemplar New Technology 21st Century
High Schools. More will be added as materials and resources become available.--

Note:
This page is part of a larger project to profile exemplar 21st Century
Secondary Schools, New Tech and others, in the U.S. and abroad. The
initial seven schools are all New Tech schools. This list will be
expanded to include other New Tech schools and other exemplar 21st
Century schools based on different models. Criteria for inclusion
in this list are:

School
is exemplary in its practices, including project-based learning,
assessment of 21st Century Skills, pervasive use of technology
as a student and teacher tool, and use of online learning platforms
to bind the school community together.

School
positions itself as a demonstration school through hosting study
tours and executive tours and also communicates its practices
through the school website.

There
are sufficient web-based resources -- articles, videos, research,
and other documents -- to adequately profile the school.
